This student teaching just sucks. I'm sorry but the teacher I am paired up with is no help, support or anything. She loves to tear me down and make me feel like shit. For example today I was doing powerpoint presentations from the textbook. Granted the session consisted mainly of vocab words and was a bit 'dry' however the lesson was about 20 mins long if *IF* the class was with me. Well since these are the classes from hell, behavior issues, no rules, free time etc very few kids were following along etc. I'm sorry but this is a high school class, I'm not going to baby the students. I keep moving along, if they choose to stay with me great, if not, to bad.
The only feedback I every recieve from my 'master teacher' is to "control the class" and I need to "get their attention". Ya thats helpful. So I guess she has decided that after this chapter SHE is going to resume teaching and at some point in the future we will re-evalute my 'abilities'. Oh this is just going to be soooo wonderful...
No wonder kids are screwed up. No one holds them accountable, no one makes them do anything and heck heaven forbid the actual teacher does anywork. Her favorite phrase to me is 'I'm just too busy to teach'. Lovely, just lovely.
